I sure am thankful to have lots of choices when it comes to toys. But that got me thinking. I am so very thankful for all of the choices I have in my life. Goodness, I have a choice of wet food or dry food, I have a choice of pure filtered water from a fountain or from several bowls, I have a choice to snooze in my bed, in my cat tree, in my other cat tree, or in my other cat tree. I also have a choice to run down the hall or to slowly walk down the hall. And let’s not forget bird, squirrel and feral cat TV where I have a choice of fabulous viewing spots. I also have a terrific choice of places to enjoy sunpuddles.
Choices are wonderful, and they are particularly important when it comes to helping other critters. We can choose to help or we can choose to not help. We will always choose to help those less fortunate than we are, even if it is in some little way. Hopefully a whole lot of little can add up to one big happy for someone. Choices are good, and we are thankful every single day that we have been given the opportunity to choose.
Speaking of choices, Sister Dolly has her eye on this pile of toys. I wonder what she is going to choose to do. Remember, adopt cats, we deserve it!!!!! More Forever Homes More Often! Purrrrr! Zip! Later!
Brain, I am thankfully the same thing as you and I hope many human will make a nice choice to help more kitties out there who are need home.
Purrs for them
We hope’s Humans will make the right choices 🙂 Wow you sure got some cool toys xx00xx

Brian – when we think about your blog message it seems so unfair that some of us cats have wonderful lives but there are many who unfortunately have no homes or families to take care of them. We try to donate food to local charities who take care of them and Mum donates to the Cats Protection League in the UK.
Luv Hannah and Lucy xx xx
Yes, many cats have a better life than many humans. We need to makes things better for the less fortunate cats and humans.
That is such a good idea Brian to help the homeless animals find homes. It is so sad all the ones that are in shelters. You do have a great life there and we are so glad that you do. Brian, your Dad does so many wonderful things to help the homeless animals. Take care.
Brian, you are so right… And you and your family do help so many…. Speaking of choices, I am so glad about the choices we have made too, even though the first step was hard, and the tears keep coming.
It does all come down to us and the choices we make, lucky to have so many indeed. Doesn’t mean you have to share though haha
Dear Brian,
That is a very nice post
Thanks God we have wonderful lives
Have a terrific day, little friend
Lots of Purrs from
Pepi, Xixo, Juja and Jujuba
Oh pal, what a great post and you are the purfect example of helping others. You do wonderful work and we admire you and your family as you give so much to the animal community.

We are also very thankful fer all OUR choices too Brian. Thank you fer reminding us of that.
Great to have so many choices. Nicely put Brian. We are all indeed lucky. We wish well for those who are not.
Have a terrific thankful Thursday.
Best wishes Molly
You are right Brian, we are lucky to have so many choices. We are glad we are able to choose to try to help others too.
Just having choices to make is wonderful for us. So many kitties don’t have a choice.
I make some choices too and sometimes I choose to let some people live 🙂
I’m sorry…that was my “evil twin”…I couldn’t agree with you more Brian!! 🙂
Brian you are right and you made us realize how thankful we are too.
You do have lots of choices to make
Choices are making our life very different~
And, meeting you 🙂
It’s a wonderful gift to live in countries where we have choices! And in a home with so many lovely toys! 🙂

Brian, what a thoughtful post. We are grateful to have the choices we do…and that we can choose to help those less fortunate than us.
Looks like you also have a choice between Silvervine and nip too!
We are so grateful for the great choices we have. We believe most poeple try to make good choices as well.
We agree with you about Spencer too. He deserves better and we hope he finds it. One of the two people involved should be having second thoughts.
We, too, are fortunate and have LOTS of choices…and for that we are grateful. We believe that every time any creature makes a choice to help others or be kind or stop a wrong, no matter how tiny that step is, that it helps make a difference in the world. Let’s keep on spreading positivity and hope by our actions.
That is a lot of choices! It’s good to have a lot of options as a kitty cat.
Oh Brian, we ‘greez! I try to remind my Human to choose to do the good things more often! Mostly, she listens to me….she’s afraid not to, MOL!
Brian, that is a very thought-provoking and wonderful post. We, here at my house, are very lucky kitties to have so many choices in our day.
We are glad we have a choice to make choices. 🙂
Why I could be thankful for most of those things to Brian. How fortunate are we?! And as for me, I don’t have to share any of it….so far
WOw which one are you going to pick first to play with????
